Small Mammals and Exotics in Lompoc, CA
Village Veterinary Clinic in Lompoc, CA provides veterinary services for a wide range of small mammals and exotic pets. Our team offers informed, species-specific care for rabbits, rodents, reptiles, and other nontraditional companion animals. We understand these pets have unique medical and husbandry needs, and we tailor each visit to support their health and well-being.
Whether you’re caring for a rabbit, guinea pig, bearded dragon, or another exotic species, we’re equipped to provide thorough exams, diagnostics, and treatments to help you support your pet’s health at home and in our clinic.
Personalized Exams and Consultations
During each appointment, our veterinarians perform a full physical examination and discuss any concerns related to your pet’s behavior, appetite, housing, and nutrition. Early intervention is especially important for many exotic species, as they tend to hide signs of illness. Routine checkups can help identify problems before they become more serious.
We offer guidance on appropriate environments, enrichment, and dietary support tailored to the specific species and individual pet. Our goal is to help your companion live comfortably and safely.
Medical and Surgical Services for Small Mammals
Small mammals often require specialized care that differs from what is commonly provided to cats and dogs. We offer a range of medical and surgical services designed to support the unique needs of rabbits, guinea pigs, rats, and similar species.
Our small mammal services include:
- Spay and neuter procedures for rabbits and select other species
- Dental evaluations and treatment for overgrown or misaligned teeth
- Mass removals and minor soft-tissue surgeries
- Medical management of gastrointestinal stasis and adrenal disease
- Digital radiographs and in-house blood work
Reptile Health and Species-Specific Care
Reptiles require veterinary care that considers their unique physiology and environmental needs. Many health issues in reptiles are linked to improper husbandry, which is why we emphasize comprehensive nutritional and habitat counseling as part of our veterinary approach.
Our reptile services include:
- Guidance on lighting, temperature, humidity, and diet
- Digital x-rays with specialist consultation when needed
- Infectious disease screening
- Beak, nail, and scale trimming (sedation available when appropriate)
